How Long Does Face Filler Last?

For years, laser hair removal has been a treatment of two halves. It is known to be effective, but it is also known to be painful. It offers a long-term solution to unwanted hair, but often only for a narrow range of skin and hair types. Many people have been forced to choose between enduring uncomfortable "rubber-band snap" treatments or accepting less effective alternatives.
At Air Aesthetics, we believe you should never have to compromise on your comfort or your results. We have introduced the Lynton Motus Laser Hair Removal system to our multi-award winning clinics to revolutionise the patient experience, leaving the old compromises behind. This technology is more than just an equipment upgrade; it represents a fundamental shift in how hair removal is performed.
Here is why the Motus is setting a new standard for laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to reduce unwanted hair. The light is specifically tuned to be absorbed by the pigment, or melanin, in the hair follicle. When the melanin absorbs the light, the energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle. This damage inhibits or significantly delays future hair growth, leading to smoother skin over time.
To understand why modern lasers are so effective, it helps to know the science behind them. The process relies on two key principles: selective photothermolysis and the hair's natural growth cycle.
Selective photothermolysis is the core principle of laser hair removal. In simple terms, the laser is calibrated to a specific wavelength of light that is strongly attracted to the melanin in the hair but not to the surrounding skin tissue. This allows us to target and heat the hair follicle with incredible precision, destroying it without harming the skin nearby.
Hair grows in three stages: Anagen (active growth), Catagen (transition), and Telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is only effective when the hair is in the Anagen phase, as this is when the follicle is actively attached to the root. Because only a fraction of your hair is in this phase at any one time, multiple sessions are required to capture every hair in its active growth stage.
Historically, the effectiveness of laser hair removal came at the cost of comfort and inclusivity. While the 755nm Alexandrite laser has long been recognized as the most effective for hair removal, it was traditionally unsafe for darker skin tones because the high energy could damage surface melanin.
Furthermore, older systems use a "stamping" method that delivers a single, intense burst of energy. This creates a sharp, painful sensation often compared to being snapped with a rubber band , making treatments for large areas a grueling experience for many.

The Lynton Motus laser hair removal system solves these historical problems. It combines the gold-standard Alexandrite wavelength with innovative technology to deliver superior results without the discomfort.
The Lynton Motus eliminates the barrier of pain with its proprietary Moveo (in-motion) technology. Instead of painful stamping, the handpiece glides smoothly across the skin, delivering low-energy pulses in gradual, repetitive passes. This gently heats the follicles to the target temperature. Combined with an integrated sapphire cooling tip that keeps your skin at a constant and comfortable 15°C , the sensation is often described as a soothing, warm massage.
The gradual energy delivery of the Moveo technology allows the powerful Alexandrite laser to be used safely on all skin types, from Fitzpatrick I to VI. It passes through the surface of the skin too quickly to cause harm, concentrating its energy deep within the follicle. This means that for the first time, everyone can benefit from the most effective wavelength in laser hair removal without the risks previously associated with treating darker or tanned skin.
The Motus is designed for efficiency. Its large spot size and continuous in-motion technique dramatically reduce treatment times. Full legs can be treated in as little as 45 minutes , and a full body session can be completed in around 75 minutes. You can achieve smooth, hair-free skin in a fraction of the time required by older systems.
The Motus laser hair removal system excels where others fail. Because it uses the 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which is most highly absorbed by melanin, it is significantly more effective at targeting stubborn, finer hairs that other lasers often miss.
"I had tried laser elsewhere and found the 'flicking' sensation too much to bear for large areas. Switching to the Motus at Air Aesthetics was a game-changer. It genuinely felt like a warm stone massage—I actually found myself relaxing during the session, which I never thought possible with laser hair removal."

The most accurate term is "permanent hair reduction." A 2020 randomised controlled trial specifically on the Motus Moveo technology found it achieved a 78.5% hair reduction. Any hair that does regrow is typically much finer, lighter, and far less noticeable.
While a typical course of laser treatment often requires 10 to 12 sessions, the advanced technology of the Lynton Motus is significantly more efficient, with most clients achieving optimal results in just 6 to 8 sessions. Clinical studies have even shown outstanding results in as few as four sessions.
Because the Motus is over 30% faster than traditional laser systems, it delivers these superior results in much shorter appointment times, treating large areas like the legs or back in a fraction of the time. We space these sessions 4 to 8 weeks apart to ensure we target the hair in every cycle of its active growth phase for the best possible outcome.
Absolutely, you can have laser hair removal on sensitive areas such as the bikini line or face. The Motus laser's precision and integrated cooling tip make it exceptionally safe and comfortable for sensitive areas. The painless nature of the treatment is particularly beneficial for intimate areas, where discomfort from traditional lasers is often a major concern.
